It would be more prudent to wait 4 to 6 weeks after any operation to do another significant procedure, but one could wonder if any period of waiting is necessary as we often do tubal ligation and tummy tucks together. Your best bet is to follow the advice of your gynecologist and your plastic surgeon.
Thank you for your question. I would recommend waiting 3-6 months after having this procedure done to undergo a tummy tuck and BBL.
Hello and thank you for your question. I recommend waiting 2 months. If you are an appropriate candidate for a tummy tuck, this can be donethrough a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. The belly button can be designed to looknatural and have no scars on the exterior. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flatabdomen. A BBL can be performed at the same time for improvedbuttock and waist contour. Make sure youspecifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who havehad this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with.I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plasticsurgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G.

Thanks for your question. It depends upon how your surgery was performed. If it was a tubal ligation through small endoscopic incisions I generally wait about 3 weeks, but I also check in with the prior surgeon.Best wishes.
Thanks so much for reaching out. I would wait at least six weeks after having your tubes tied to leave enough time for full recovery. however I would not recommend getting a BBL and a tummy tuck at the same time. In order to do a BBL correctly the Liposuction on the front on your side and on your back needs to be very aggressive in order to thin out your sillouhette and obtain the right shape. If you have a tummy tuck at the same time the Liposuction cannot be aggressive and would risk the skin of your stomach if it was aggressive. Also in the recovery you would have a very difficult time as you cannot lay on your back to protect your butt and cannot lay on your stomach to protect your tummy tuck. Laying on your side is not a great alternative as often fact rafting to your hips is done during a BBL. Make sure you see a board-certified plastic surgeon and body specialist in order to get the correct treatment and the correct plan to get you to your goals. I hope this helps :-)
Generally, I prefer to wait 6 weeks after any surgical procedure. However, as this was an abdominal procedure, the waiting time should be extended to a minimum of three months.
You should wait approximately 6 weeks after your tubal ligation to have a tummy tuck and BBL procedure depending upon your overall health. Good luckBest,#drburnett #realself100
You probably need to wait at least 4-6 months for you to completely heal from that procedure before undergoing pretty extensive plastic surgery.
Generally speaking I prefer at least 6 weeks and preferably 3 months after minor surgical procedures before doing a tummy tuck. Please consult a board certified plastic surgeon who can more properly answer your specific situation.
Thanks so much for reaching out. It's hard to say exactly what this can be without an exam but it could be a seroma as you described however I don't think so. More likely the muscle repair is a little bunched up beneath the belly button and when you go to sit up it bunches up a little more....
The muscle plication tightens the waist and flattens the abdomen. The biggest enemy of muscle plication is visceral fat. That is the internal fat which is pushing against the tightened muscles. It is rare (though not impossible) to disrupt the plication by...
Yes, some degree of swelling or firmness (medical term induration) can still be present 21/2 mos post tummy tuck. It may take up to six months for this to completely resolve. Physical activity may cause it to transiently increase.
